Dart Bolt

[bmw]

i would still use oil, you not gona lube one but not another, i wouldnt of thought!

The manual only covers the stock bolt.

Whats the fooking difference...they are all Black Delrin, if the come from Planet.

Which wont swell...contrary to popular belief.

Is it an 05 manual? As there it shows an origninal 05 bolt with o-rings which needed lubing. I've always thought that the didn't need lubing for 3 reasons.

- Delrins self lubing
- The lube will only collect crap and increase bolt/breach wear
- Lube will get on the detents and increase the liklyhood of a double ball

Personaly i've never lubed a planet bolt and never had a problem.

lol well if it isn't going to cause any harm I wont lube it, but may oil it sometimes deal?

it was the 06 manual i read it from, ive always put oil on the bolts of all my egos, never had any issues whats so ever, dart, nexus and cure bolts

down to preferences at the end of the day, but if thats what planet recommend in there user manual, then thats what im gona do, the ego is there marker after all

I have to agree with you there Bob

Here is the definitive answer:

Lube the o-rings (each time you play) with a drop of light lube (Eclipse Oil, ACI, Gold Cup etc) at the point the detents rub against the o-rings. Thats it - nothing more, nothing less.

What Nicky T says. Thats only lube on the cure bolt orings for, I think, kila detents.
